I love recycling crafts, and always find it a fun challenge to come up with new ideas using the humble paper roll as the base material. These paper roll ghosts are made using the same squash, cut and fold technique which I’ve used to make our paper roll black cats and paper roll dinosaurs.

You can personalise your ghosts with funny faces, or paint them any colour you like to brighten them up (whoever said all ghosts had to be white?).

I’ve gone with classic white though, and our ghosts look cute decorating the shelf for Halloween with a few LED candles added for dramatic effect.

I’m basically a big kid who never grew up and still loves to muck around with paint, glitter, glue and toilet rolls. With the crafts shared here on this website I’m hoping to give other parents and carers inspiration to get crafty with their kids at home – make our projects, or use them as a source of inspiration to spark ideas of your own. When it comes to crafting no rules apply!
